What this episode covers
This week we're paying tribute to Notre Dame Cathedral. I’ll be skipping around to the most important interactions between Notre Dame and her hometown. At each point, I’ll try to paint a picture of Paris as she was at that time, and the Notre Dame she would have known: change by change, disaster by miracle, making our way up to now, to the Notre Dame we have, smoking and injured and beautiful and beloved, as we dream and plan of the Paris, and the Notre Dame that will be.
